Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, speaker of Iran's parliament, stated that management and security arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz will never return to pre-war conditions after recent tensions.

Qalibaf praised Iranian diplomats for ending what he called Iran's siege through talks with the United States. The discussions were mediated by Pakistan and Qatar.

The first round of the renewed Iran-US talks took place in Switzerland. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reported significant progress, including steps toward sanctions relief, the release of some frozen Iranian assets, and the creation of mechanisms for additional technical negotiations.

Both sides agreed to continue technical discussions toward a broader agreement within 60 days. The topics to be covered include Iran's nuclear program, sanctions, regional security, and safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

Qalibaf also accused Israel of opposing the diplomatic process between Iran and the United States.

Reliability assessment

Single source but reports direct on-record statements from named Iranian officials (parliamentary speaker Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Araghchi) with concrete details on talks and outcomes.

The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Khaama Press: "ending the country’s “siege” through diplomatic efforts" and "permanently altered the strategic landscape" use loaded framing to portray Iran as a victim of encirclement that has now achieved a lasting strategic victory.
